TGIF Series – First One in 2014

Hi, dear friends! I know that this series has taken a bit of a hiatus over the holidays. Hopefully, the first post on this series in 2014 will give you tons of ideas on what to check out this weekend. For those who do not live in the NY/Northern NJ area, hopefully there are some links at the bottom that you will find interesting to read.

New Jersey

Brick Art – Come see some of the works of artist Nathan Sawaya at the Morris Museum. For those who are not familiar with Nathan, he is the artist who recently showed countless Lego masterpiece creations at Discovery Times Square.

Gridiron Glory – In preparation for the Super Bowl that will be taking place in our neck of the woods, kids can learn some interesting historical football facts and tidbits at this exhibit at the Liberty Science Center.
